How to purchase Steam games with region lock?

Steam is having a Sega sales week this week. I found out that Alien vs Predator was on sales for £12.50 in the UK. But too bad it was only available in the UK as well. But I managed to find out a way to bypass the region lock. I will post a simple tutorial to get it done.

First you will have to get yourself an UK IP address. How do you do that? Well you could use UK proxy or VPN. Because there aren't so much free proxy servers that could support HTTPS, so I went with the latter. I managed to find a free UK VPN that is offering an hour trial. You could get a trial account here. After registration you should be emailed about the login info & configuration method if you don't know how to set it up. After you have an UK IP, now you can process to the next step

Now that you have an UK IP, your Steam store page should be in the UK region automatically (the currency should appear in £). Now proceed and go to add your game to the cart. When you're done, go to your Steam profile page, change your country to UK, then proceed to payment. Change your country in the billing information to UK. From my experience, you don't have to have an UK street address. The transaction should be done if nothing went wrong. Now you can enjoy your game!
